(3) work-based learning; and
(4) supplemental services. Favors grant applications that propose to accomplish at least three of the following:
(1) serve students attending underperforming schools with graduation rates below 60% and high concentrations of impoverished students;
(2) offer multiple linked learning pathways;
(3) encourage students to seek careers in fields where their gender, race, or ethnicity is underrepresented;
(4) increase the secondary school completion and post-secondary enrollment rates of traditionally underrepresented students;
(5) reduce the academic achievement gap; or
(6) utilize research-based practices to implement linked learning pathways. Directs the Secretary to provide for an independent evaluation of this program's grants and disseminate the best practices that emerge to support linked learning pathways.
